Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao handed over the portrait to their subordinates and asked them to find the person in the painting.

They felt that the young man in the painting was probably the key to this incident.

However, Jiang Zhan's people searched for a day, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of the other party.

That night, the other party suddenly sneaked into the courtyard where they lived, wanting to assassinate Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao.

After Jiang Zhan sensed the danger, he hurriedly protected Xue Yao behind him and fought with the other party.

"You're the one who sent Yanyun to assassinate the emperor?" Although the other party concealed his appearance, Jiang Zhan still guessed his identity.

Today, his subordinates are still looking for portraits, and he came to the door at night, and the news is really well-informed.

"You husband and wife are helping that dog emperor, and they are not good people, I will send you to the Hades Palace today!" The man was vicious, and he wanted to kill both of them directly.

"The emperor is a benevolent monarch, if you want to assassinate him because of your own selfishness, you are destined to fail!" Xue Yao snorted coldly.

"You know what, he's a sanctimonious hypocrite!" The man has a very strong grudge against the emperor.

"It's not up to you to decide on this matter!" Xue Yao deliberately stimulated him.

"Hmph, since you are so loyal to the Dog Emperor, I will send you down in advance, so that you can continue to serve him in the future!" He tried his best, but unfortunately he was still not Jiang Zhan's opponent.

Jiang Zhan's martial arts were much higher than him, and after a few rounds, he realized the gap between himself and Jiang Zhandu.

He thought that if he came over, he would definitely be able to kill their husband and wife, give the emperor a dismount, and let him know that some people can't be touched.

Who knew that he had met a master, Jiang Zhan's internal strength was pure and profound, even if the top masters in the rivers and lakes met him, they might not be able to get any benefits in his hands.

With such a powerful person, he can't beat it at all.

So he wanted to flee from here, and when Jiang Zhan sensed his intentions, he planned to gather his men to come and capture him.

Jiang Zhan never pays attention to morality when dealing with enemies.

This man is too dangerous, and it will be a curse to keep him.

It's a pity that the other party came prepared, and when he realized that he couldn't send Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao to be buried with the Dog Emperor, he sprinkled poison.

Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao would carry some drugs close to them at any time, so he covered his and Xue Yao's mouths and noses in time after seeing each other's movements.

The other party took this opportunity to run away directly, and Jiang Zhan immediately ordered his men to chase after him.

"He's too cunning!" Xue Yao looked at the medicinal powder on the ground.

Previously, the system reminded her that the powder was highly poisonous, and if she inhaled it, she would be killed instantly.

Therefore, Jiang Zhan and Xue Yao did not get close to the medicinal powder on the ground, and at the same time, she also exchanged other things from the system to eliminate the medicinal properties of these poisonous powders.

If you don't, whoever cleans it will be poisoned and die.

There happened to be medicine in the system that could eliminate the toxicity, how could she not use it.

After the man escaped, Jiang Zhan went directly to the palace and wanted to tell the emperor about it in person.

He suspected that that person was the Wang Yunfeng they had been looking for.

It's a pity that he hasn't met each other, so it's not particularly sure of that......

When Jiang Zhan went to look for him, the emperor was in the imperial study to review the recitals.

He was reporting the young man's affairs to the emperor, and he accidentally saw a fold on the emperor's table.

Jiang Zhan found that the content of the twists and turns was all related to the book of the Criminal Department.

The emperor saw that he had seen it, so he directly told Jiang Zhan about the other party's crimes.

It turned out that the secretary of the criminal department was corrupt and took bribes, and even secretly replaced death row prisoners for the sake of silver, so as to make profits.

The criminal department was in his hands, and the emperor didn't have the energy to intervene in all the cases in the capital, so he gave him the opportunity to secretly do something.

"Actually, I only recently learned about the good things he did!" This criminal department is still a deception, and even his family is not clean.

They used money in exchange for other people's lives.

After the emperor knew about this, he always wanted to punish him and clear the innocent people who died for him.

The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention those who are powerful and wealthy in the capital.

They have violated the laws of the court, and they must also do according to the rules.

As a result, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department secretly shielded them and profited by rescuing death row prisoners.

He did this kind of thing very secretly, and he was only recently found out by the emperor's people.

That's why the emperor wants Jiang Zhan to take over the Criminal Department, after all, the Criminal Department needs a capable person to rectify it at present, otherwise unhealthy trends will prevail, and the magnates in the capital will be lucky after making mistakes in the future, which is not what the emperor wants to see......

After the emperor said about the book of the criminal department, he sighed helplessly, "Now the court seems to be calm, but in fact, there are still many hidden dangers, and there are very few people who can be trusted!" ”

He used to see his father give up a lot of things in order to weigh the power of the DPRK and China.

At that time, he felt that his father should not do this, but when he really sat on the throne, he realized the hardships.

Everyone in the world wants to become a monarch who sits on the world, but they don't know that monarchs also have their own helplessness and pain......

"What does Your Majesty want to do with the Criminal Department Shangshu?" Jiang Zhan knew early on that he would face trouble after he ascended the throne.

However, he believed that with the emperor's means, he could eliminate people with outside intentions in the court.

The Emperor Taishang has managed the government for so many years, how can it be unclear how many moths there are in the court.

He didn't do anything, he just wanted to leave these to the emperor as a whetstone.

If the emperor wants to control the government, he must install his own people in the most critical positions in the court.

"This person has committed a heinous crime, I will not spare his life, Jiang Zhan I need you to come back to Chaozhong and help me!" The emperor's exclamations in front of him were all from the bottom of his heart.

He can rest assured that he will give an important position to Jiang Zhan, but he can't trust others.

It's not that the emperor didn't think about promoting a few young and promising people to become his henchmen.

However, the young upstarts in the DPRK can't overpower the old ministers, and the means of causing accidents are not sophisticated and deep, and the other ministers are all old foxes who are cunning and abnormal.

So after thinking about it, the most suitable person to be in charge of the Criminal Department is Jiang Zhan.

He is a pure minister, he will not accept bribes from others, and he will not be fascinated by women, which can be described as invulnerable.

He can reuse such a courtier with peace of mind, and he is not worried that he will rebel.

It's a pity that Jiang Zhan seems to have always had concerns in his heart, and he has always refused to respond to him head-on.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is to catch the mastermind who is hiding behind the scenes and has been trying to assassinate you!" Jiang Zhan diverted his gaze.

"Do you have eyebrows?" The emperor knew that he didn't want to talk about it at the moment, so he reluctantly accepted his thoughts.

Although he could directly give Jiang Zhan an official position, the emperor was unwilling to force him in this matter.

If they are forced to leave quietly, he will have one less courtier who has nothing to ask for in the court.

"The grass people brought a portrait, this person sneaked into our house just after night tonight, intending to assassinate the grass people and their husbands and wives......" Jiang Zhan told all about the process of getting the portrait.

"You mean this person is likely to be the one who has been contacting the killers and wants to take my life?" The emperor looked at the portrait, and his eyes instantly froze.

"Yes, but the grass people haven't found out where he came from!" Jiang Zhan had already asked people to go to the hometown of the female musician and Wang Yunfeng to investigate.

"I'll send someone to continue investigating!" The emperor also wanted to verify the identity of the person in the painting as soon as possible, and then find a way to take it down.

Subsequently, the emperor repeatedly proposed to let him enter the court as soon as possible to share his worries, and now the internal troubles of the court are getting more and more serious.

The Emperor Taishang went to the hot spring palace to recuperate, but he has not returned, and he has made it clear that he will never help.

The dragon chair is not as comfortable as others imagine, even if it has the power that everyone wants, but it lives a very bad life every day, and can only sleep for two or three hours a day when it is busy.

Jiang Zhan couldn't bear to look at the emperor like this, after all, after they met, the emperor was not only the person he wanted to be loyal to, but also his friend.

The two are also gentlemen and friends, and Jiang Zhan doesn't want him to have a headache because of the affairs of the DPRK and China.

So he decided to discuss the matter with Xue Yao carefully after he went back.

In the past, they all said a few words casually, but they had a tacit understanding with each other, that is, when the murderer was caught, they would leave.

He didn't want to get contaminated with the troubled waters of the imperial court.

It's a pity that the emperor is in a hurry, and Jiang Zhan is also shaken in the face of his repeated requests.

On the other hand, since Jiang Zhan entered the palace, Xue Yao has always felt uncomfortable.

Although Jiang Zhan quickly repelled the other party before, Xue Yao was still somewhat frightened when the other party suddenly appeared.

At that time, she had Jiang Zhan by her side, so Xue Yao quickly calmed down.

However, when she was the only one left in the room, Xue Yao felt that she was very uncomfortable all over.

She drank some hot tea, but it didn't help.

At this time, Xue Yao was alone in the room, and the maid didn't know that she was unwell, and she didn't want to alarm anyone.

It's getting late now, and she doesn't want to work hard, after all, it's just a little uncomfortable, and the patience is over.

When Xue Yao used to be a programmer, she endured it every time she was sick, and she would go to the hospital unless it was really serious enough to write code.

She felt that she could still bear the pain in front of her......

So Xue Yao lay down directly, thinking that she would be fine after waking up.

Who wanted her to sleep in the bed, but it was even more uncomfortable.

In desperation, Xue Yao could only get up and sit on the chair.

At this time, most of the people in the house were resting, although there was still a maid on duty at night, but Xue Yao didn't want to look for her, but planned to find a doctor tomorrow to carefully diagnose her pulse.

Since the system helped her transform her body, Xue Yao has hardly been sick, not even cold.

This time, she suddenly felt unwell, and Xue Yao attributed it to fright, so she kept dragging it.

When Jiang Zhan returned to the room, he saw Xue Yao rubbing his head with his hand, looking very uncomfortable.

"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Zhan walked over to hold her hand and found that her palm was cold.

"I'm fine, you go take a bath first!" Xue Yao endured the pain and took a change of clothes from the box and handed it to him.

"I'll order someone to go to the doctor to treat you immediately!" Jiang Zhan saw that her face was a little abnormal, and immediately summoned his subordinates.

"No need, it's so late now, I'm afraid the doctor is also resting, and I'll go to the hospital tomorrow to find the doctor to prescribe!" Xue Yao overflowed with a smile, wanting to appease Jiang Zhan.
